his old stable, An Eastern firm
is now constructing a mausoleum for HIM,
which is a cottage in design, seven feet high,
surmounted by an urn. Inscribed upon 1t
will be the record of birth and death,
and each of bis great turf triumphs.
Truly, these rough old stockmen love their
dumb charges surprising well. These are
the same stables that received the klngly
confrere of Ten Brock, Longfellow, when
his great achievements on the course were
accomplished and he was retired from the
turf Mr. Harper always sleeps in the
stable with his horses when they are pre-
pairing for a great race, but at home the
utmost freedom is allowed. The negro
boys on the farm, whose pride in the horses
equals their masters, will leap on the bare
back of a $50 900 turf fayorite and drive up
the cows, or fly off to the postotfice or any
household errand.
Adjoining the Harper estate is Woodburn,
the homestead of the AleXanders, and the
best known place in America, having gwen
more winners TO the track than any other.
1t is four times the size of New Yorks Cen
trail Park, and is truly princely demesne.
1t is now under the managemsntUt Mr.. L..
Brodhead, genuine lover of the horse, who
has devoted himself to the high development
of the thoroughbred Looking upon the rich
acres of level pastures knee-deep in luxuri-
ant bluegrass, and the stately woodlands of
maple and beech and oak, of walnut and ash,
beautiful as the primeval forests, it is not
difficult to conceive how the first of these
Alexanders, Scottish nobleman, came to
Kentucky on his youthful travels, and
losing his heart to the beauty and great pos
sibilities of this lovely land relinquished
his proud birthright across the sea, and
linked his name and fortune with the enter
prise that stands at the head of all such in
America to-day.
There is something very taking in the
frank, free heartiness of the Kentuckians,
especially to the stranger within their gates,
let him come whence he may. The latch

ing, high or low, and the best the establish

is more encouraging now than for six

at their homes so that they could not be
